Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Townsend, Tennessee are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Townsend who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
